Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a pillar loop for belts, such as seat belts in cars or the like, and particularly the type of pillar loop which is secured to a vehicle and having a belt extending therethrough for guidance of the latter.
  • FIGS. 1 through 4 of the drawings illustrate conventional types.
  • the round hole 1 serves to secure the pillar loop to the vehicle
  • the slot shaped recess 2 serves to guide the belt.
  • FIG. 2 shows a pillar loop of the same type as that in FIG. 1, but modified so as to be provided with a cover having a somewhat rounded surface.
  • FIG. 3 shows a pillar loop blanked or stamped out of a somewhat thicker steel plate than is used for blanking out the pillar loop according to FIGS. 1 or 2.
  • FIG. 3 is die-forged and the portion over which the belt slides is round-forged.
  • FIG. 4 shows a pillar loop which is constructed of a round steel loop secured to a steel plate, with the end portions of the loop being bent together. The steel plate is necessary in order to secure the pillar loop to the vehicle.
  • the seat belt of a car Upon the occurrence of an extreme dynamic stress; the seat belt of a car is exposed to a shock-like stress, whereby the belt will tend to break or fissure in the area of contact with the pillar loop.
  • the present invention provides for a novel pillar loop which is based on the concept that it is essential to reduce the shock-like stress to which, for instance, seat belts in cars may in certain cases be exposed and which will generally result in the breakage of the seat belt.
  • the present invention is also predicated on the concept that the portion of the pillar loop over which there runs the seat belt, should have a round shape and, preferably consist of round steel.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide a pillar loop of round steel which can be constructed in a simplified manner in comparison with known methods. As mentioned above, it has heretofore been necessary to use plate material for securing pillar loops which are made of round steel, for instance, to a car wall.
  • FIGS. 1 through 4 respectively show perspective views of various prior art embodiments of pillar loops
  • FIG. 5 shows a perspective view of a pillar loop constructed pursuant to the present invention
  • FIG. 6 shows an elevation view of FIG. 5
  • FIG. 7 shows a sideview of FIG. 6
  • FIG. 8 shows a plan view of FIG. 6 with the tube 7 removed.
  • the pillar loop according to the invention is disclosed in FIG. 5 and is characterized in that the loop 4 consists of round or bar steel, the end portions of which are bent towards one another and are then bent in an angle of 90° , so as to extend in a parallel and adjacent relationship.
  • the end portions are secured in that positon and are provided with a hole 6 for the attachment of the pillar loop; and wherein the end portions, if desired, are then flattened.
  • FIG. 6 shows an elevational view of FIG. 5, FIG. 7 showing a sideview of FIG. 6.
  • FIG. 8 shows a plan view of FIG. 5 with the tube 7 removed.
  • the end portions are flattened and secured in that position through the aid of a tube 7 which is similarly flattened and provided with a hole enveloping the end portions.
  • a tube 7 which is similarly flattened and provided with a hole enveloping the end portions.
  • the round steel end portions can be secured in a parallel and adjacent position in several different ways, such as by enveloping the end portions with a suitable steel plate, or by welding them firmly together.
  • the loop itself is somewhat bent or twisted relative to the remaining portion of the pillar loop, so that the loop is somewhat inclined from the wall to which the pillar loop has been secured, such as a car wall.
  • the pillar loop is provided with a plastic cover which guides the belt as well as it forms a covering, for example, for the nut head and other sharp and projecting elements.
  • the pillar loop according to the present invention can also be produced in a simplified manner in comparison with the previously known pillar loops which are formed of round steel, where the loop of round steel is secured to a plate member.
  • the plate is necessary for attaching the pillar loop to a structure, such as a car wall.
  • a structure such as a car wall.
  • the pillar loop according to the present invention it is not necessary to attach the round steel loop to any plate member, since the end portions of the pillar loop which are provided with a hole, in this case serve to secure the pillar loop to the vehicle.
  • the end portions which are flattened according to a preferred embodiment according to the invention must only be secured in their relative position in some manner, for instance, by sliding a flattened tube member of a suitable size and provided with holes over the flattened end portions of the pillar loop, or by enveloping that end portions by a plate member, or by welding the end portions together, and so forth.
